Chapter 36 036 [Fire in July]

Bandit, an ancient and classic profession.

In the era of Pei Yue's previous life, this kind of occupation only existed in various film and television dramas, and most of them were villains who set off the protagonist's image, shouting old-fashioned lines such as "This mountain is mine", holding brightly The sword jumped out from the side of the road, and after provoking the protagonist, he was brutally killed.Unless this bandit is a very beautiful female character, his end is to get the box lunch as soon as possible.

But in this world, Pei Yue knew that bandits were not a rare group.

Mountains, commercial roads, and even waterways, as long as they are convenient places for Xiao to gather, a group of vicious bandits may jump out at any time.

Although the territory of Daliang has been peaceful for a hundred years, but limited by the small number of official posts and the backward level of social development in this era, the probability of encountering bandits in the wilderness is no less than that of encountering a group of wild beasts.

However, Pei Yue also understands that if there are bandits ravaging Thaksin in the prefectures and counties below, but it is the most benevolent place in the capital, with 20 troops gathered inside and outside the city, will someone play the banner of bandits here?

Do you think your life is too long?

However, Qin Xian's complexion couldn't be faked, and it's impossible for this sentry officer with a hopeless future to come all the way to play tricks on him, so what's going on?

Pei Yue invited Qin Xian to the shade of the willow tree to temporarily avoid the scorching sun in the summer afternoon, and asked with a puzzled face: "Brother, why are there bandits near the capital?"

Qin Xian glanced at Deng Zai and Qi Min who were standing under the sun and did not follow, and felt a little envious that the bastard in front of him had such a sensible and loyal entourage, and then sighed: "My dear brother, to tell you the truth, this matter has already passed." After several months of trouble, no one cared about it at the beginning. Just like you said, where is Kyoto? No matter how daring bandits are, they can randomly draw a soldier from the three major battalions. They killed them all. But after two months of continuous suppression, they didn't even get a single hair from those bandits, and instead lost a lot of troops. I heard that the adults in the West Mansion were furious. Jumping in anger."

Pei Yue became more and more puzzled. According to Mr. Xi, because of the threat of Wu State and Da Zhou on the border, and in order to maintain the combat power of the soldiers, the three major battalions in Kyoto have been fulfilling the rule of sending a small number of troops to the border for actual combat in recent years. , so the three major battalions are not veteran soldiers who have been raised in Kyoto for many years, at least most of them have seen blood on the border, and they still lose soldiers and generals when dealing with a group of bandits?

Qin Xian continued: "My dear brother, do you know about the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest of Kyoto?"

Pei Yue suddenly realized: "Brother Shi, are you saying that these bandits are actually hiding in the Hengduan Mountains?"

Qin Xian said helplessly and angrily: "Exactly!"

The Hengduan Mountains are a natural spectacle in Daliang, stretching for thousands of miles, bordered by mountains, and there are dozens of peaks over a thousand feet.The nearest mountain peak is only a hundred miles away from Kyoto. The dense forest in the mountain is deep and deep, wild beasts are rampant, and the environment is very dangerous. So far, only the marginal area has been barely explored.

Pei Yue thought for a while, and calmly analyzed: "It still doesn't make sense. Although the Hengduan Mountains are not very far from the capital, it is not a short distance away from the capital. How could the cavalry battalions of the three major battalions not be vegetarians, so they couldn’t catch up with them?”

Qin Xian said: "In the earliest days, the chief officials of nearby counties and towns reported to the imperial court that some villages under their jurisdiction were robbed by bandits. When the army arrived at the incident site, the bandits had disappeared without a trace. After several pursuits, it was discovered that these bandits had fled into the Hengduan Mountains. Brother, you also know that the mountain is so big that even if you throw all the three battalions Going in to find someone is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. After the masters of the West Mansion knew about it, they set up an ambush based on the traces of bandits looting before. This time, they finally defeated one of them and cut off the road to the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest. Force them to flee in other directions, and then hunt around."

Pei Yue glanced at the hundreds of soldiers on the straight road, all equipped with horses, and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, for coming here to remind me on the way to chase the thief."

Qin Xian clasped his hands and said: "That day at the banquet, I saw Brother Yu being besieged by those gangsters. Brother Yu didn't say anything to help him. He felt really ashamed, and was scolded by his father when he went back. Now that Brother Yu is chasing the thief through this place, he also knows that Brother Yu My brother is right here, and others can't do it, so it's naturally my duty to remind you."

After thanking Pei Yue, he asked, "Brother Shi, do you have any clues now?"

Qin Xian hesitated slightly, but still smiled and said: "There are more than [-] bandits who were blocked this time, only three of them have strong martial arts skills, and the rest of the gangsters have been killed and injured, only those three are left. People continue to run away, Brother Yu dare not say, the way of tracking is pretty good, so they can't escape."

Pei Yue praised: "Brother Shiguo is very human, and I wish Shixiong here to capture the bandit chief alive and make contributions to the country."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Qin Xian's weather-stained face, and then he said sincerely and calmly: "Brother Yu, don't tell lies in front of me. Brother Yu's family has undergone major changes, and he is not liked by the Holy One. My father can only use wine to drown his sorrows. Brother Yu I just want to rely on my meager ability to earn a future, even if I hand over this life, I can always add some glory to the lintel of the family. Don't say these depressing words, now that my brother lives outside the city, he must be careful Be careful, goodbye!"

Pei Yue fixedly looked at this strong young man with a rough fate, saw the sincerity and friendliness in his eyes, and suddenly called out to him: "Brother, wait a minute."

Qin Xian stopped in his tracks and asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yue walked to his side and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, I have some immature ideas about these bandits, so I ask Brother Shi to give you a detailed look."

Qin Xian said curiously: "My dear brother, please tell me."

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "Although bandits use the Hengduan Mountains to hide their whereabouts, how can there be food and grass in the mountains for them to plunder? You said they have been raging for several months, so every time they come out to rob, they can Get the food necessary for survival? Even if there are wild animals in the mountains that can be hunted, what about the medicinal materials? Whether it is the dangerous environment on the mountain or fighting with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, they are very likely to be injured. If there is no medicinal material to treat the wounded, they will Why can you maintain the hearts of the team?"

Qin Xian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother Yu understands, we can start with medicinal materials, find a way to catch the people they send out to buy medicine, and then find their lair."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, and did not elaborate on the difficulties involved, but continued to remind: "Another thing, how can the bandits predict the actions of the Beijing camp? Even if their looting targets are counties and towns outside the capital, But how do they know the specific distribution of the troops of the three major battalions? If they don’t know this, how do they choose the target and route of each operation? What’s more, you said that the bandits hid in advance several times during the encirclement and suppression. Can't you explain something?"

Hearing these words, Qin Xian's complexion became solemn, and at the same time he felt his heart beating very hard.

"My dear brother, you mean..." He hesitated and dared not speak.

Pei Yue said without any scruples: "That's right, there must be something wrong inside the army! Brother, after you catch those bandit chieftains this time, you can go back to a trusted superior and report these two points."

Qin Xian is not stupid, and he quickly understood what Pei Yue meant. He showed gratitude, but shook his head firmly and said: "How can brother Yu take the merits of my virtuous brother as his own? I have written down your reminder." , I will tell the commander-in-chief when I go back, but I will not take it as my own credit."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, a look of appreciation flashed deep in his eyes, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Shi, actually, do you think those big men in the army can't think of these two points? The boss left an impression, at least when you make great contributions in the future, others will not have the guts to seize your credit."

Even so, Qin Xian still wanted to refuse, and Pei Yue said angrily: "Brother Shi, you came to remind me just because of a chance meeting. It can be seen that you are a loyal man, why are you so rude? Do you think I, Pei Yue, are just a bastard?" , so he is not worthy to be your brother?"

Qin Xian was at a loss for words, after all he was not a good talker, after struggling for a moment, he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "If you don't dislike me, I, Qin Xian, will be your brother from now on!"

"It's elder brother, not brother." Pei Yue patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Elder brother, let's go after the thief, we don't want to delay any longer."

"Brother Yue, take care, I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

Qin Xian bowed his hands solemnly, then walked over, jumped on the horse, and led the hundred horsemen to gallop away.

Pei Yue stood under the willow tree and didn't move for a long time.

Deng Zai and Qi Min looked at each other, walked slowly to his side and asked, "Master?"

Pei Yue shook his head, did not speak, and still looked at the direction in which the hundred or so riders were going away.

Although Cai reminded Qin Xian of some things, there were some things Pei Yue didn't say, and that was the origin and purpose of these bandits.According to Qin Xian, there must be a lot of these bandits, and more than [-] people are just one of them. Where did so many bandits come from?Looting near the capital will inevitably lead to a frenzied siege by the Beijing camp, but these bandits did not run away, but started a guerrilla war with the Beijing camp. What on earth did they want?
The bandit's target is the villages outside Kyoto, so could Green Willow Village be one of them?

The sunshine in July was strong and hot, but Pei Yue felt a slight chill in his heart.
